Abstract:

In this paper, the effect of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) influence on the frequency of islanded microgrids based on frequency control using fuzzy cooperative control is investigated. To achieve fast frequency control, instantaneous power balance between generation and consumption is inevitable, and it can be supplied through energy storage systems such as battery with a proper frequency control method. Besides, the frequency control of islanded microgrids could be studied under different circumstances, where one aspect analyzed is added to a flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) device, such as STATCOM, in the microgrids. Although STATCOM is charged with improving the voltage profile, it can affect frequency stability by adjusting the voltage very quickly. Due to the importance of refining frequency stability, two controller methods are compared: a classic PI controller and a fuzzy PID controller. Accordingly, the performance of STATCOM is evaluated via two scenarios. Based on simulation results, by applying the fuzzy PID controller to the microgrid, STATCOM can reach the nominal frequency. Moreover, with greater validation and investigation of this topic, this device could be an agreeable alternative to the battery energy storage system (BESS).

Distributed Frequency Regulation in Islanded Microgrids

A set of power generators and loads is considered a microgrid if, in comparison to larger power systems, they are smaller and have lower ratings and capacities. An islanded microgrid is a microgrid that is not connected to a larger power system. Generally, ac power systems have three main objections. First, they must always balance power generation with demand. Secondly, they must regulate freq...

Secondary Load-Frequency Control for MicroGrids in Islanded Operation

The objective of this paper is to present novel control strategies for MicroGrid operation, especially in islanded mode. The control strategies involve mainly the coordination of secondary load-frequency control by a MicroGrid Central Controller that heads a hierarchical control system able to assure stable and secure operation when the islanding of the MicroGrid occurs and in load-following si...

Cooperative Control to Enhance the Frequency Stability of Islanded Microgrids with DFIG-SMES

The issue of frequency stability of microgrids under islanded operation mode and mode transfer has attracted particular attention recently. In this paper, a cooperative frequency control method, which consists of a microgrid central control (MGCC) and microgrid local control (MGLC), is proposed to achieve a seamless transfer from grid-connected to islanded mode, and hence increase the frequency...

Frequency Control of Microgrids by Demand Response

This paper investigates the use of electricity demand response as a new measure for fast reserves inside of an autonomous (islanded) microgrid during different operating conditions including frequency controlled disturbance and normal ones. It is worth noting that demand response programs using under-frequency relays to shed the loads is used in the past, but these programs have, however, mainl...
